Epigenetics, a term coined by Conrad H. Waddington in the early 1940s, originally described the complex molecular pathways that govern how a genotype manifests as a phenotype. Over time, this ...

Figure 1. Epigenetic clocks reflect the average DNA methylation signal across multiple cell types/states in a tissue. Variations in this composition impact the interpretation of such clocks. As ...

The epigenome consists of nuclear information, heritable during cell division, that controls development, tissue differentiation, and cellular responsiveness. Epigenetic information is controlled by ...

Human Wellness is an area of increased focus and growth – and it is not limited to lycra wearing gym bunnies. Human Wellness is a much more nuanced condition and incorporates mindfulness, walking, ...

Epigenetics plays a critical role in human health by regulating gene expression without the direct modification of DNA sequence. Aberrant epigenetic modifications mediated by changes in DNA and ...

Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike genetic changes or ...

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Human Genome Project, a monumental scientific achievement that has transformed healthcare and laid the foundation for modern genomics.

Epigenetics, the study of changes in gene expression that are not caused by alterations in the DNA sequence, has emerged as a key player in the development and ...

A random mutation in a gene can alter its function and bring about a new characteristic that can pass down for many generations, but this may not be the only way that organisms can inherit a trait.
